The first quarter of 2020 has earned a place in history. Everything changed, including the way we live, work and play.
But as the saying goes, “the show must go on,” – and it did.
Despite the unique challenges 2020 held, Network Time Foundation had much to celebrate:
Q1 Achievements
Network Time Protocol 4.2.8p14 was released.
NTF ARIN registration was completed, including ORG-ID, ASN application, and IPv6 and IPv4 allocation requests.
All clock.isc.org traffic has been moved to a Network Time Foundation site.
We continued our engagement with OpenCollective and the Open Source Initiative and signed new and renewing memberships including:
Q2 Achievements
Q3 Achievements
Q3 was an eventful quarter at NTF. In early September, wildfires destroyed a large percentage of the town of Talent, Oregon, where NTF is headquartered. We are extremely thankful there were no NTF injuries or property damage and operations continued as usual. But it did make the national news.
Wildfires notwithstanding, Q3 was a very productive quarter for NTF. Accomplishments included:
Substantial progress on upgrades of NTF/NTP domains and websites
New project volunteers focused on existing and new initiatives
Institutional Membership Renewals including:
Q4 Achievements
Q4 2020 was a productive final quarter. Network Time Foundation engaged in multiple projects and moved a number of important initiatives forward. These included:

Implementation of additional equipment received from iXSystems
